Stream flow and water quality were measured and analyzed with respect to flow-weighted mean concentrations (FWMCs) of 21 rainfall events from a forested watershed (Forest Research Watershed: FRW) and two mixed watersheds of agriculture and forest (YuPo-Ri Watershed: YPW and WolGog-ri Watershed: WGW) located in the middle of the North Han River basin. The monitoring of each watershed was one year and conducted between 2004 and 2006. YPW showed more intensive agricultural practices than WGW where traditional practices were common. The average of the 21 FWMCs were in the order of YPF>WGW>FRW and were significantly different from each other at the level of 0.05. It was shown that the land use with intensive agricultural practices produced and discharged more NPS pollutants than that with traditional practices and forest. Specially, SS concentrations from the mixed watersheds were significantly higher than those from FRW. Influencing factors on runoff were analyzed rainfall and watershed area. And rainfall intensity was greater impact on runoff than daily rainfall. Measured water quality indices were shown positive correlations among them in general. However, no significant correlation was shown between COD and nutrients(T-N and T-P).

본 연구에서는 국내 분포하고 있는 490개 저수지를 대상으로 유역특성과 수질과의 관계를 조사하였고, TSI편차분석을 통해 유형을 구분하여 영양염 측면에서의 각 유형별 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구 대상저수지에서 수심이 얕을수록 부영양화 가능성이 높게 나타났다. 유역 내 논과 밭의 이용면적이 30%이상인 경우 수체 내 TP농도는 평균 0.1 mg $L^{-1}$ 이상이었다. TN 농도는 유역전체면적 중 논의 면적이 25% 이상인 경우에 평균 2.6 mg $L^{-1}$이상의 분포를 나타냈다. TSI편차를 통해 구분된 형태 중 TYPE III에 해당하는 저수지의 수질항목별 평균 농도는 다른 두 형태에 포함된 저수지에서 보다 2배 이상 높은 수준이었다. TYPE III에 포함된 저수지는 다른 두 유형에 포함된 저수지와 비교해 부영양상태이고, 수심이 얕으며, 수표면적에 대한 유역면적비 (DA/RA)가 작고, 논과 밭으로의 이용면적이 넓었다. TYPE I과 II에 포함된 저수지의 수질은 TYPE II에서 BOD와 엽록소 ${\alpha}$농도가 높은 것을 제외하고는 유사한 수준이었고, 형태학적 특성(평균수심, DA/RA)이나 토지이용형태 또한 유사하였다. TYPE I에 포함된 저수지들에서는 인이 조류성장에 대한 일차적인 제한요인은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 모든 대상저수지에서 인의 제한가능성이 나타났으며, 토지이용형태, 특히 유역 내 논과 밭으로의 이용면적은 저수지의 수질을 결정하는 매우 중요한 인자였다.

The focus of this study was to quantify the thermal stratification and analyze the relationship between the stratification structure and the tributaries to understand flow variations in the Paldang Reservoir. The vertical distribution of the temperature and density gradients, and the depth and thickness of the thermocline were quantitatively calculated using a lake physics tool (rLakeAnalyzer) and high-frequency monitoring data. Based on a density gradient of 0.2 kg/㎥/m, the thermocline was formed from mid-May to early-September 2019 and the other periods were weakly stratified or mixed. The thickness of the thermocline was developed until 4.7 m and the depth of the thermocline was formed at a depth of 3 - 6 m at the front of the Paldang Reservoir. During the formation of the thermocline, the Namhangang and Gyeongancheon tributaries with relatively high water temperature (low-density) flowed into the upper layer of the reservoir, and the Bukhangang tributary with low water temperature (high-density) mainly affected the lower layer of the reservoir. This is because the density currents were formed due to the difference in the water temperature of the tributaries. The findings of this study may be used for constructing high-frequency monitoring and quantitative data analyses of reservoirs.

Since the baseflow, which constitutes most of the river flow in the dry season, plays an important role in the solution of river runoff and drought, it is important to accurately evaluate the characteristics of the baseflow for river management. In this study, land use change was evaluated through time series data of land use, and then baseflow characteristics were analyzed by considering climate change and land use change using climate change scenarios. The results showed that the contribution of baseflow of scenarios considering both climate change and land use change was lower than that of scenarios considering only climate change for yearly and seasonal analysis. This implies that land use changes as well as climate changes affect base runoff. Thus, if we study the watershed in which the land use is occurring rapidly in the future, it is considered that the study should be carried out considering both land use change and climate change. The results of this study can be used as basic data for studying the baseflow characteristics in the Gapcheon watershed considering various land use changes and climate change in the future.

A long-term water quality monitoring in the Han River Basin reveals a consistent increasing trend for the concentration of refractory organic matter (R-OM) in major monitoring sites of the watershed. Because the determination of R-OM concentrations typically requires a long time of microbial incubation, it is essential to present the estimation indices for R-OM for an efficient watershed management. In this study, a number of surface water samples were classified into three groups, each of which were collected from Lake Paldang, rivers at rain and non-rain events, respectively. The corresponding R-OM concentrations were correlated with biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations as well as ultraviolet and fluorescence intensities of the filtered samples. Among the traditional organic matter parameters, TOC exhibited the highest correlation coefficient with the R-OM concentrations regardless of the types of the sample groups. The equations for conversing TOC into R-OM concentrations were finally suggested as $0.43{\times}TOC+1.12$, $0.44{\times}TOC+0.61$, $0.24{\times}TOC+1.28$ for river samples at rain and non-rain events, and lake samples, respectively. TOC-BOD(C), the values of the TOC concentrations subtracted by carbon-converted BOD concentrations, was a good index for estimating the absolute concentrations of R-OM. UV absorbance at 254 nm was well correlated with R-OM concentrations of river samples while fluorescence intensities at 350 nm showed an excellent relationship with R-OM concentration of the lake samples. Our results suggests that simple spectroscopic parameters could be applied for in-situ monitoring tool techniques in watersheds.

대기천 유역은 한강 상류에 위치하고 있으며, 대표적인 고랭지 채소재배단지 중의 하나로 강우기 대규모 탁수를 배출하여 한강 상류의 수질 및 수생태계에 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 효과적인 탁수관리 및 정책제안을 위해서는 강우기 하천유량과 탁수(SS)농도의 특성 및 원인분석이 우선시되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 대기천 유역을 대상으로 강우기 유량과 SS농도 사이의 관계를 분석하고 이를 통해 탁수발생 특성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 보통의 홍수유량상태에서는 다양한 주변 환경요소로 인해 임의적으로 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 첨두홍수량상태에서는 SS농도가 매우 높게 나타났으며, 이는 현장방문관측을 통해 농경지 발생원뿐만 아니라 첨두홍수량에 따른 가파른 계곡과 사면의 붕괴에 의한 영향이 크게 기여한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 통상적인 발생원관리대책과 함께 경지주변 사면안정과 하상유실을 제어할 수 있는 구조적 최적관리방법이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Owing to a distinct environmental regime and anthropogenic effects, freshwater bacterial communities of urban streams are considered to be different from those of large freshwater lakes and rivers. To obtain unrecorded, freshwater bacterial species in Korea, water and sediment samples were collected from various urban streams of the Han River watershed in 2018. After plating the freshwater samples on R2A agar, approximately 1000 bacterial strains were isolated from the samples as single colonies and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. A total of 26 strains, with >98.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with validly published bacterial species but not reported in Korea, were determined to be unrecorded bacterial species in Korea. The unrecorded bacterial strains were phylogenetically diverse and belonged to four phyla, six classes, 12 orders, 16 families, and 21 genera. At the generic level, the unreported species were assigned to Nocardioides, Streptomyces, Microbacterium, Kitasatospora, Herbiconiux, Corynebacterium, and Microbacterium of the class Actinobacteria; Paenibacillus and Bacillus of the class Bacilli; Caulobacter, Methylobacterium, Novosphingobium, and Porphyrobacter of the class Alphaproteobacteria; Aquabacterium, Comamonas, Hydrogenophaga, Laribacter, Rivicola, Polynucleobacter, and Vogesella of the class Betaproteobacteria; Arcobacter of the class Epsilonproteobacteria; and Flavobacterium of the class Flavobacteriia. The details of the 26 unreported species, including Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, biochemical properties, and phylogenetic position are also provided in the strain descriptions.

To obtain unrecorded freshwater bacterial species in Korea, water and sediment samples were collected from streams, lakes, and wetland of the Han River watershed in 2020. Approximately 800 bacterial strains were isolated on R2A agar after aerobic or anaerobic incubation, and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequences. A total of 28 strains, with ≥98.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with validly published bacterial species but not reported in Korea, were determined to be unrecorded bacterial species in Korea. The unrecorded bacterial strains were phylogenetically diverse and belonged to four phyla, eight classes, 13 orders, 19 families, and 25 genera. The unreported species were assigned to Acetobacter, Alsobacter, Mesorhizobium, Prosthecomicrobium, and Microvirga of the class Alphaproteobacteria; Vogesella, Formosimonas, Aquincola, Massilia, Acidovorax, and Brachymonas of the class Betaproteobacteria; Pseudoxanthomonas, Thermomonas, Lysobacter, Enterobacter, Kosakonia, and Acinetobacter of the class Gammaproteobacteria; Sulfuricurvum of the class Epsilonproteobacteria; Mycolicibacterium, Agromyces, Phycicoccus, and Microbacterium of the class Actinobacteria; Paenibacillus of the class Bacilli; Clostridium of the class Clostridia; and Flavobacterium of the class Flavobacteriia.

우리나라는 효율적인 수자원 관리를 위해 노력하고 있으며, 향후 지역의 문제와 물이용 현황, 특성, 지형, 기후 등을 고려한 유역을 세분화한 후 계획을 수립하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한강 권역을 대상으로 MODSIM 모형을 활용하여 중권역과 표준유역단위 물 수급 체계를 구축하고 분석 결과를 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 49개년(1967-2015)간 발생하는 평균 물 부족량은 중권역 단위 129.98 백만$m^3$, 표준유역단위 2,229.24 백만 $m^3$으로 약 21 억$m^3$ 가량의 차이가 나타났으나 물 부족이 발생하는 시기와 물 부족 발생 공간 분포에 대한 경향은 매우 유사하게 나타났다. 이러한 원인은 중권역 단위 분석의 경우, 모든 수량을 이용할 수 있다는 가정으로 대표 자연유량 값에 대한 생활, 공업, 농업용수 수요량에 대한 물 부족량이 산정된다. 그러나, 표준유역단위 분석에서는 분할된 공급량과 수요량의 차이로 인해 본류와 이격되어 있는 지류는 가용할 수 있는 수자원량이 상대적으로 작아져 물 부족이 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났고, 본류는 오히려 회귀수량의 파급효과로 인해 물 부족이 나타나지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 향후, 분석 단위의 세분화 뿐만 아니라 실제 물이용체계가 모형 내 고려된다면 지역적 특성이 반영된 물수급 평가가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate spatial and temporal dynamics of nutrients (TN, TP), organic pollution (BOD, COD), and ionic dynamics (electrical conductivity, EC) in the North Han-River, South Han-River, and merged downriver using the dataset of $1998{\sim}2007$, obtained from the MEK (Ministry of Environment, Korea). Accord. ing to interannual nutrient analysis, TN varied slightly in the North Han-River and South Han-River, but decreased in the merged downriver along with BOD. Longitudinal analysis in the water quality showed that BOD, COD, and nutrients had linear decreasing trend along the main axis of headwater-to-downriver. Concentrations of TP and TN in the North Han-River averaged $26.97{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, $1.696mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively, which were minimum in the three watersheds, followed by South Han-River and then the merged downriver in order. Ratios of TN:TP in the watersheds were >40 in all the sites, indicating that nitrogen may be enough for periphyton or phytoplankton growth and phosphorus may be limited partially. After the North Han-River water is merged with South Han-River, the concentrations of BOD, COD, TN, and TP were similar to the values of $S6{\sim}S7$, respectively or a little bit higher, but increased abruptly in Site M4 (Fig. 3). Thus, mean values of all the water quality parameters in the reach of $M4{\sim}M7$ sites were greater than any other sites. Seasonal data analysis indicated that BOD and EC in the downstream ($S3{\sim}S7$) was greater in the premonsoon than two seasons of the monsoon and postmonsoon, and no significant differences in BOD between the three seasons were found in the upstream ($S1{\sim}S2$). Empirical models of COD in the merged downriver was predicted ($R^2=0.87$, p>0.01, slope = 0.84, intercept = -1.28) well by EC. These results suggest that EC to be measured easily in the field may be used for estimations of nutrients and organic matter pollutions in the merged downriver and these linear models are cost-effective for the monitoring of the parameters.
